8. Name one thing you bought before the baby but never ended up using?

I can’t think of anything, don’t like have loads of stuff around and mainly get things after I need them. Minimalist sometimes has taken that “ideology” a bit further.

9. Your child’s favourite food?

The older one would go for ice cream and biscuits (oh, you mean food? Hm, cucumber, does that count?), the younger one loves boiled carrots and eats anything that isn’t sweet.

10. How many cars does your family have?

One station wagon

11. Weight gain – before pregnancy, during, after and now?

Meine Güte, what a question!
I gained some 5 kgs when I finished training kickboxing, and then some 15 kgs during both pregnancies. About to loose about 5 kgs by midsummer to fit clothes well. If I don’t make it I’ll be 50e poorer.

12. Dream holiday with your kids?

Interrail in Europe, Croatia, Italy (Italy take Two has done nothing to lessen my desire to explore this country!), Greece, road trip across the states, pacific islands, Malaysia (great posts from Penang on Penang Momma’s blog)… and the list goes on. I just need a sponsor and more holidays. I’ve also become keen on revisiting Singapore, since so many great bloggers have given more ideas for the location.

Btw, looking forward to camping this summer! What kind of plans do you have for your next holidays?

13. Dream holiday without your kids?

Oh, there’s a difference? I think everything is doable with and without the kids, just a bit in another rhythm. On holidays I want to spend time with my kids! However, we have been thinking on a European city weekend with my hubby, e.g. Rome comes to mind.

14. How has your life changed since having kids?

Nowadays I cook ;). I hurry home from work as I want to see my kids before bedtime instead of often working late.

15. Finish the sentence, ‘it makes my heart melt when …’.

my kids tell me they love me. Or each other.

16. Where do you shop for your kids?

friends ;), fleemarkets, Name It, Lindex, where ever I find what I want.

Yes, unfortunately we’ll postpone the interrail a bit (again) as it looks like my husband will do some training that messes with our schedules. Not necessary without bringing some other good opportunities though but we’ll see when things clear up.

When we become parents, we just want to travel with our kids together! I like your take on dream holiday with or without kids 🙂 I do hope you’ll visit Singapore soon. Oh, and the mummy tags on to me too, I have 3 kids haha… but nowadays I am trying to find a balance in blogging and my personal life that I haven’t been able to find the time to do these questions. Hope I’ll get to do it soon 🙂

I just realised I didn’t put you in to the great lot of Singapore based bloggers! Will have to edit some, you’ll given so many great tips. Sorry about this miss!

But yes, I agree, these take a lot of time so it did take me like a month and a few days with grandparents around to get around to write the post… but isn’t that a good value in the mummy identity, that the main focus is still irl? 🙂 I would like to read your answers though if you have the time!

You don’t have to feel bad about missing me! In fact, I love to know other bloggers who have blogged about Singapore too. It’s good to know new bloggers. I like the mummy tag as it prompts even me into thinking about myself while I read yours and others 🙂

Great post! And Rome is amazibg but don’t expect much from accommodation no matter how much you pay. 😉
Oh Croatia is a must too. I’d love to take V there sometime. We went there the summer before I got pregnant.
